"I Should Tell I Blew the Candle Out Just to Get Back In..."

[psalm_onethirtyone]

Mmm, this is fun. Researching what in hell to do in Pittsburgh, since we're going there in two or three days. I didn't like Pittsburgh the last time we went there, although the penguin was cute.

Lent is killing me. Killing me, hear you? Forty days without any kind of sugary food whatsoever. I can have sugar in drinks, but I hate tea and coffee, no one ever buys Kool-aid, and I'm not allowed carbonated drinks.

Becca brought cookies in for everyone to-day, and Soujin curled up in the corner with her pretzels and tried not to look. Becca evil.

Lesbian issue finally cleared up, and for perhaps the first time, Evil Acting Teacher complimented me on something I said.

Ah, well, back to Pittsburgh.

(*wail* I want it to be Easter already!)

Lent is a time of abstinence and fasting. Catholics give up all red meat and some dairy, I understand, but Episcopalians give up something they need to give up. For pretty much everyone in our church, sugar is given up.

The general idea, however, is that we give up something we should give up but never got around to giving up. *squints*

It's because Jesus fasted forty days and forty nights when the devil tried to tempt him, I believe.

Oooohhhhhh, okay. Me+religion=does not compute.

This is quite okay. It´s not, I´m led to believe, an orthodox branch of Christianity.

I'm not Catholic. Catholic Lent works just the same as yours. I'm Eastern Orthodox. We're technically supposed to give up red and white meat, fish, wine, oil, dairy and sweets, but I get a break because I'm "still growing" and need nourishment.

I'm not Catholic.

*hides* Ah! Sorry! I thought you were Catholic. My bad. *pokes* Lucky evil little thang.

Ah, the irony!

(And it would be quite ironic if this is, in fact, not irony.)

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

I don't know if it's an ironic as it is funny. *g* No one can tell what anyone else's religion is.

At least we have no doubts about Shoukie being an atheist.

...Which would be useful, if she had an lj. I'll shut up now. Sorry. Having so many sisters home is traumatizing me.

Right. And Waen's an agnostic. That's all very simple.

Banana 1: Alas, the pains of being Catholic!
Banana 2: I'm not Catholic!

Banana 2: Catholic people do such and such.
Banana 3: I'm not Catholic!

Banana 4: The irony!
Banana 2: It's not irony!

What am I? (1) Rubbing things in, (2) half asleep, (3) incredibly shallow and stupid today. Oh, happy day! :D All sing and dance and skip. To bed. Good-night.

Anyway, regarding Pimpernel, I was quite amused by the way it was written. (In my version, at least; I looked at my friend's version and it seemed to be different.) It seemed very blunt, and had some sort of quality that just, er, seemed very cute to me. :) Perhaps I am odd.
